It means Apple is bowing to the demands made by the DOJ.

I think it means Apple considers their secure enclave "secure"

User data is still encrypted.

I'm not so sure. Wouldn't leaving the bootloader/root filesystem unencrypted make the device more vulnerable to physical tampering by a non-Apple party that could compromise user data?

I'm assuming that these things were previously encrypted/signed with a key that only Apple controls. I could be wrong.

Everything is signed and most likely the parts that do the checking will stay encrypted.
